| Summary: | With the changing model of production in recent years, small and medium industries (SMI) and microenterprises are the object of greater analysis in the economic literature, and governments are paying more attention to them in their development strategies. However, neoliberal positions have been used to explain their success, and the study ofthe SMI is turned into an argument in favor of the free market.This article seeks to define the terms of analysis. It emphasizes the heterogeneity of those productive units, and establishes the common elements which allow it to be treated as a universe with a certain degree of coherence not separate from socioeconomic phenomena as a whole. In addition, it compares different types of SMI in order tobetter understand its behavior and its potential as a factor in societal development. |
